Read the researchThe conversation has moved
The conversation is increasingly moving to AI.
Voters are bringing questions about candidates, ballot measures and political choices directly to AI systems.
Campaigns need a strategy for the sources and relationships behind those answers. Incomplete records, weak entity connections and misleading claims can shape the response long before a voter reaches your website.
You cannot afford to arrive after the narrative is established.
In the news
“People are asking ChatGPT to help them decide how to vote in the midterms”
NPR reports on voters using chatbots to research ballots, compare candidates and check viral claims—and the risk that AI reinforces what people already believe.

Civic Knowledge Graph goes well beyond AI optimization.
We build an architecture of connected entities, credible sources and defensible claims around your campaign. Our team then implements that strategy across your websites, endorsers, expert evidence and the broader sources AI draws on.
Understand the balance of sources
See which sources and arguments are appearing, how they treat your campaign, and where authoritative evidence is absent. Separate an opposing view from a factual error.
Build strong entity relationships
Connect candidates, organizations, policy positions and endorsements to the evidence behind them. We build consistent identities and meaningful relationships that help AI understand who holds a position, who supports it and why it matters.
Strengthen the record
Address misinformation with verifiable facts, current documents and attributable corrections. For Wikipedia and other independent sources, work through transparent, evidence-based processes.
The platform
We turn AI intelligence into coordinated action.
Our platform connects AI answers to the claims, sources and entities behind them so our team can identify and implement the right changes.
CKG identifies missing evidence, inaccurate claims and influential sources. We use those findings to strengthen public information, deploy technical improvements and measure whether the original AI answers change.

Implementation at the edge
Turn your website into a stronger source for AI—without touching your CMS.
We strengthen the entity relationships, evidence and authority signals AI receives from your existing website.
What does working at the edge mean?
The edge is the delivery layer between your website’s server and the people or AI systems requesting a page. CKG adds an approved information layer as the page is delivered, without editing the content in your CMS.
That layer connects your campaign to its positions, endorsers and supporting evidence through structured data. It helps AI retrieve, interpret and cite your website as a stronger source in relevant answers.
Your CMS stays in place+CKG enriches delivered pages=Connected evidence for AI
Your team keeps its publishing workflow and page design. CKG implements the source and entity strategy at the delivery layer, aligned with your approved public information.
